They do need to ask the right questions.” Heifetz, Laurie A leader needs to possess a sense of urgency and drive to envision and create the future – They lead in a direction where the “destination” is unknown. The challenge for those that travel with such leaders is to trust and support the vision and the journey. Daszko, Sheinberg
